Reborn in another world, the boss loves me to the core
Chapter 395: Little Demon, I Saw My Mother
"He Hua's father is 20 years older than me. He has a leg disability and his family is so poor that no girl in the surrounding villages is willing to marry him. He is a well-known bachelor in the surrounding villages. The dowry of several dozen yuan was collected by selling the only valuable things in the family and borrowing money from everywhere."
"At that time, I wanted to die, and I didn't care who I married. The betrothal money was my last act of filial piety to my parents. He treated me very well. Although I didn't cry or make a fuss, he still took good care of me during my illness. All the eggs laid by the only hen in the family were given to me to nourish my body. He didn't let me do anything at home. After selling the cow, he and my father-in-law pulled the plow together. In order to pay off his debts, he sold blood, but he used the money from selling blood to buy supplements for me."
"Under his meticulous care, I gradually recovered. To be honest, I would be lying if I wasn't touched. Life is a one-way journey. My parents are old, and I don't want them to worry about me anymore. My heart died, but I became more open-minded. In addition, he would help me find out about my family's situation from time to time. Later, he even brought my mother to live with me for a few days. My mother saw that although he was old, he was really good to me. He gave me whatever was at home. Even though we were so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat, we didn't go hungry. She felt relieved and advised me that I would know how to care for others when I was older."
"My mother told me that my father went to the mountain to look for the child the next day after he abandoned him, but he only found a few blood-stained pieces of cloth. The child was long gone. I cried for two whole days. After two days, I tried to accept him and decided to live a down-to-earth life with him. I believe that the child will come back to me."
Su Xian's eyes fell on the unusually obvious red mark on her wrist, with confusion.
Pan Caiyun quickly put her hands behind her back to cover the marks and explained awkwardly: "...He was really good to me before."
As if she had been sitting for too long, Tan Hua's mother moved her body and continued, "After He Hua was born, the family was so poor that they had no other options. When He Hua was hungry, she could only drink rice soup. She grew up thin and weak. I was worried all day long, fearing that I would lose the child. So He Hua's father had the idea of going out to work."
"At that time, people in the village worked from sunrise to sunset. I don't know where his idea came from. When he left, he only had a few notes and half a bag of dry food in his pocket. After He Hua's father left, the family became even more difficult. All the farm work fell on me and the two old people. We often had no food to eat. We relied on my aunt's occasional help and a bag of food my father brought us to get through the most difficult two months until we received the first payment sent by He Hua's father."
"Just like that, the days passed one by one. As He Hua gradually grew up, my heart gradually settled down. Although life was hard, I cherished it very much. Watching the small and soft baby grow up day by day, calling me and smiling at me, I felt that my lost child was back. At first, he came back every few months. After He Hua was born, he was doing well outside and soon opened a scrap yard. Later, he rarely came back even during the busy farming season. He said that digging in the soil could not make as much money as picking up garbage in the city. He also said that He Hua was his lucky star and he loved her very much."
"He Hua's father asked me to go out to work with him several times, but I refused. I didn't want to leave He Hua. Maybe it was from that time that he started to be suspicious of me."
As if she was a little embarrassed to say this in front of the younger generation, He Hua's mother spoke very cryptically.
But how could Su Xian not understand that Pan Caiyun was not only young but also very beautiful, and He Hua's father was almost forty years old. Under normal circumstances, Pan Caiyun was old enough to be his daughter. He was of course worried about leaving his beautiful wife at home while he went out to work.
"The birth of He Ye exacerbated the situation. He heard rumors from somewhere that He Ye was not his biological son. He usually ignored He Ye and beat and scolded him when he came back. In addition, he became addicted to alcohol and gambling, and the little money he had earned was quickly squandered. At that time, I already had my third child, and my third child was just one month old. I had no choice but to leave him and his brothers and sisters behind and go to the city."
"After so many years, I stepped into the city again, but my mood was completely different from what I expected when I was sixteen. The city had changed a lot. At the beginning, I was able to persuade him, and he promised me that he would stop drinking and gambling. We saved some money and took over a small scrap yard. With the scrap yard, we made a lot of money and bought a house in the city. We planned to bring our children to the city to study. Life was full of hope and everything was so beautiful. But as time went by, he returned to his old ways and even got worse. He owed a huge gambling debt behind my back. Later, we had to sell the house and the scrap yard."
He Hua's mother ended the topic here. Perhaps the subsequent experience made her even more embarrassed, so she stood up and pretended to look out the window.
"Ah, it's so late. When people get older, they start to talk a lot and become annoying. They are all about the past. You should go to bed early. I'll go wash the dishes."
Su Xian looked at the bruises at the corners of her mouth, feeling angry and sad. Why did such a kind woman endure so much suffering, but life still didn't treat her well?
She thought she had found a lifelong support, but she did not recognize the evil nature behind the hypocritical face. He Hua's father was not only an alcoholic and gambler, but also a domestic abuser.
Su Xian gently pulled Pan Caiyun's sleeve and asked, "Auntie, can you sleep with me tonight?"
Pan Caiyun was very surprised and a little at a loss. In her eyes, the girl was like the clouds in the sky and the flowers blooming swaying on the branches. She was out of reach and yet dazzling, never stained by dirt and dust.
But the girl looked up at her, like a soft little animal, with eyes as black and bright as grapes, which always reminded her of her dead child.
She couldn't refuse, so she carefully held her hand and said, "Okay."
When Xiao Yao came in, she saw Su Xian with a smile on his face and spoke to her seriously.
"Little demon, I saw my mother."
Xiao Yao suddenly hugged her, her voice choked with sobs, "Miss..."
The lovely and pitiful young lady eats, sleeps and grows up alone in such a big house.
The night was as cool as water, with birds singing from outside the window from time to time. The moonlight tonight seemed particularly bright, illuminating every detail in the house.
There are a few posters of his own hanging on the cement wall, which is in some way in harmony with the simple environment.
Su Xian quietly opened his eyes and looked at Pan Caiyun who was so close to him. She closed her eyes with a relaxed brow. Her clothes had the same soapy scent as her bedding, and were warm and clean after being exposed to the sun.
When I was a child, I always fantasized about how happy it would be to sleep next to my mother, even if my mother was always dirty. But such a small wish was never realized until my death.
She opened her mouth and whispered, "Mom."
These two words brought her great warmth and strength.
She occupied the body of a kitten and lived in this world. She once firmly believed that she could be fine without her parents, but at this moment, she really wanted to tell Pan Caiyun at all costs that she was her daughter.
